So I just uploaded the video. I added blog part in it. I was actually wondering if I should do it. But I wanted to see how my viewers think if I add my blah-blah-blah in the end. So I decided to go for now. if I don't see anything better, All I need to do is just cut it out. So it's not risky at all. But I actually feel it was a kinda big action for me. Because those blah-blah-blah might cause disorganizing my cooking channel. So let's see for a little while.

Cooking + blah-blah-blah TEST
今日はいつもの料理ビデオにブログ的な要素をプラスしてみた。どうしようか迷ったけど、迷うなら一度試してみようととりあえずアップした。料理パートをいつも通りの流れにして、最後にダラダラ喋る要素を加えたら視聴者はどういう反応するか見てみたかったのね。変化がなければ切ればいいだけの事なんだけど、けっこう思い切ったつもり。こういう事するとチャンネルのコンセプトにまとまり感がなくなる可能性もあるからね。しばらく様子を見てみよう。

..... sigh おいおい。。。
メガネと財布がない。部屋の中を2時間以上探しまくった。探すのに疲れてPCデスクに腰を掛けた。目の前にメガネがある。ズボンの前ポケットに財布が入ってる。
死ねよ。
Where is my glasses? Where is my wallet? I was looking for them over 2 hours in my room. I felt so tired of keep looking for it. So I just sit down on the PC desk chair. Then I found the glasses on the desk. And the wallet was in my front pocket...
F***k me.

A, RI, GA, TO
サンタモニカを経つ日の早朝にアメリカンな朝食を食べてから日本へ帰国しようと思い、以前から気になっていたCafe 50'sというレストランへ入った。朝から賑わうほどの人気っぷり。カウンター席へ座り注文を済ませ、何気なく店内を見渡すとレジの前に「現金のみ」 というサイン。その時は現金は所持しておらずクレジットカードで支払うつもりだった。注文した食事はすでに用意されていたのでウェイトレスのおばちゃんにこう事情を説明した。
runny : 「カードは使えないの？これから日本へ帰るのでドル現金は何も持ってないんです。ごめんなさい、食事には手を付けてないので注文キャンセルできますか？」
お店にとっちゃ厄介な客かな。でもそのおばちゃんめっちゃいい人で
おばちゃん : 「日本へ帰るなら、長い時間飛行機に乗るんでしょ？お金はいいから食べていきなさい」
runny : 「え？マジですか？ありがとうございます！」
とまあこんな感じで下町風味な優しさに甘えさせてもらって、美味しく朝食を食べてると店長らしきおっちゃんがやってきて、
おっちゃん : 「お前、日本人なのか？息子が日本語少し話せるんだ。ほら、あそこにいるのが私の息子だ。紹介するよ」
おもしろい展開だなーと思いながら朝食を済ませ、その息子さんと店を出る前に少し日本語で話をした。話を聞くと彼は今年に都内のある大学へ留学するみたいで、日本語でカタコトながら話してくれた。runnyの連絡先やYouTubeのチャンネルを伝えて
runny : 「借もあることだし日本に来たら飯でも奢るよ」
そんなやりとりをした後、親切に受け入れてくれたおばちゃんにナプキンに感謝の気持ちを書いて、それを渡し店を出た。そしたらそのおばちゃんが日本語で
おばちゃん : 「A ,RI, GA, TO 」
って。なんだかこの日の朝はとても優しい気持ちにさせてくれる朝だったなぁ。こういうなんでもない日常的な時間こそ思い出深く心に残ったりする。
そして帰国しました。
The day I left US, I went to the diners called Cafe 50's in Santa Monica for breakfast. I always wanted to try the restaurant since I found it. It was already full of people even in the morning. So I took a seat at the bar. I ordered something typical American breakfast plate (scrunbled egg, sausage, hashed potato and bread). I was taking a casual look around the inside the restaurant. And I saw a sign that said ''Cash only''. I was going to pay with my credit card because I didn't have any cash at the moment. The breakfast plate was already ready so I had to talk to the waitress lady.
runny : '' Do you not take credit card? I don't have cash because I'm going to fly to Japan after this. I'm sorry, can I still cansel the order? I haven't touched my food yet ''
I was kinda trouble maker for the restaurant. But the lady was really nice.
Lady : OK you are going to have to fly long time to Japan, right? Don't worry about the money, enjoy your food ''
runny : '' Oh thank you ! ''
So I just took the hospitality like old-town-atmosphere. Then this guy who seems owner came to me and said
Owner : ''Are you Japanese? My son speaks a little Japanese. See, he's my son.''
While I was enjoying the food, I found it was kinda interesting development. After I finished the food, I talked to his son and he told me with his broken Japanese that he would be an exchange student at University in Tokyo soon this year. I just told him my number and my YouTube account.
runny : '' I owe you food here, so let me get the next one when you come to Japan''
After we chatted, I wrote my appreciation voice on the napkin and gave it to the lady. And guess what? She said
Lady : '' A, RI, GA, TO '' (Thank you)
I kinda got warm feelings at that morning. Simple situation like this is what I believe it always become memorable.
And now I'm back in Japan.

Thank you
約20年ぶりにアメリカに来て2ヶ月間滞在した。なかなか思うようにはいかない毎日で気負いもし、思い起こせば終始悩み続けながら活動していたなぁ。でも実際に体感したことは大きかったと思う。自分の中での一番大きな気持ちの変化は、実際に自分の料理を食べて美味しいと喜んでもらえることが純粋にうれしかった。Googleから約100名を招いたちょっとしたパーティーで料理を披露できる機会が運よく巡ってきたのね。普段はビデオを見てくれた視聴者さんからインターネットを通じて 「美味しそう！」、 「私も作ってみる！」 、「お前のビデオみて作ったら家族に大人気だったよ！」なんて色んな優しいコメントをもらったりすることでバーチャルな喜びを感じていたけど、それとは一味も二味も違う新鮮な感覚で喜べた気がする。帰国後も素人なら素人なりの料理にもっと磨きをかけてバーチャルでもリアルでもそれぞれの喜びを無限に感じていきたい。最後にそう気付かせてくれた。来てほんと良かった！また来るぜ～！
I stayed here in US for 2 months for the first time in 20 years. It was not easy going every day and it even made me feel inferior sometimes. Come to think of it, I was staying here with those struggling from the beginning. But I know that everything was a great opportunities for me as well. The biggest thing I found in my mind is that I was purely glad to see people who could actually taste my foods and I could see them really enjoying it. I got this opportunity which I had to make some foods for 100 people from Google at some casual party. I usually get joy through the internet by getting the comments like ''looks yum!'', ''I'll make it'' , '' I made it and all my family loved it!'' from my viewers. But the joy I had at the party was a little different from the joy from the internet. It was more fresh and feel more reality. So after I go back to Japan, I'd love to have these both virtual and real joy up to infinity. Now I have very nice tip right before I go back to Japan. I'm so glad that I visited here! I'll definitely come back again! !
